Outstanding Performance.
Churchill commented that
recognition from these nominations
"signifies the quality of
performance and artists that the
Blyth Festival attracts."
Born in Glasgow in 1888, teacher
and director Dora Mavor Moore
arrived in Toronto eight years later.
She devoted her long life to creating
theatre and theatre companies in her
new home including bringing
Tyrone Guthrie to Canada to found
the Stratford Shakespearean
Festival. A recipient of many awards
and honours, including the Order of
Canada (1970), she was truly one of
the key founders of professional
theatre in Canada and a fitting
namesake for Toronto's professional
theatre awards. Her contributions to
Canadian professional theatre are
immeasurable. /
